Bt the post uAire at Hand River. Orearon. under the Act of March S. HC9. The Good Roads Bills The good roads measures now up for action in the Oregon house of representatives represent the most important legislation that will be asked for by the people of the state during the present session. For over two years this movement has had the sup lort of the progressive element of the state, which now demands of its lawmakers intelligent leg islation. It will be, borne in mind that the Good Pwoads Asso ciation and its friends have la bored unceasingly to keep this most important matter upper most in the minds of the people of Oregon, and that the funds to do it have been voluntarily sub scribed by a few public-spirited men whom it must be admitted could have had nothing but the welfare of the public at heart. It must also be admitted that the bills presented to the legislature were accepted by a convention of delegates representing all sec tions of the state and that the men who drew them were emi nently fitted for the purpose. It is also a fact that if the meas ures are passed, and do not meet with the approval of the taxpay ers of any particular county, they are not compelled to accept them, and can continue to build roads as they have been doing, or not, as the case may be. Op position, therefore, such as is re ported from Salem, seems to be uncalled for and can only be looked upon as an effort to delay and possibly defeat a great pub lic need. The benefits to be derived are infinitely greater than the trivial objections that have arisen, and if the state lawmakers of the lower house do their duty they will see to it that the good roads bills passed by the senate, or others equally as good, are speed ily approved. The Oregonian The fiftieth anniversary' of the founding of the Oregonian. which occurred on February 4th, is an event of more than passing inter est in the history of not only Or egon, but the Northwest. The Oregonian is and has been the greatest factor in bringing this great country in touch with the outside world. It has done this because its excellence as a news paper, from all points of view, has commanded the interest and confidence of the world at large. Admitted to be the foremost newspaper of the Pacific coast, and one of the best in the United States, Oregon people should feel an individual pride in its great achievements of the past fifty years. NORTHWEST NOTES Portland. Ore.. Feb. 7 (Special) State developement will receive a new impetus if House Bill No. 301, now before the Legislature, passes. This measure will create a statistical bureau and immi-j gration agent and authentic sta tistics presenting the opportun ities of Oregon will then be available for use by the various commercial organizations that are now without an official source for reliable data. A state booklet, furnishing facts about Oregon in concise form, will be the basis of extensive advertising. Usual low-priced colonist rates) to the Pacific Notthwest from ! the Fast will e in effect from March 10 to April 10 and will no doubt, rewult in inducing many aettlers to come west. Rates will be the game as last year, on the hunii of $25 to the Coast from Missouri River terminals. Fare from other points is in pro portion, for example, $33 from Chicago: $32 from St. Louis; $50 from Ne York City: $49.75 from Washington, etc. The double tracking or the O. W. II. & N. line down the Col umbia River fiom Echo to Port land, as authorized this week by the Harriman directors in New York, will lie of great benefit to the whole state. The improved transportation facilities will be provided, but perhaps best of all is the confidence shown in the Northwest by the great railway system in authorizing this heavy investment. Pendleton is setting a good ex ample of western enterprise by starting early to put on a great show at the time of its annual " Round Up ". Provisions are being made to build a race track and grand stands that will be ample for the occasion. A large tract of land near the city has been purchased and the 1911 show promises to be a great suc cess. Pendleton is attracting wide attention through its unique frontier celebration. That Oregon will double its present population during the next ten years is the prediction of Dr. Joseph Schafer, head of the Department of History at the University of Oregon. He draws interesting parellels between the agricultural states of the Middle West amd Oregon, which he says is now facing an era similar to that marking tne periods of heaviest settlement in the Miss issippi Valley. He finds that Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and others doubled their population in ten year periods when people sought the cheap agricultural lands to be had there. He expects history to repeat itself in Oregon. The Oregon Developement League will reprint a state book let in large quantities. It is felt that the thousands who are in quiring about the advantages this states offers can best be sup plied with information if it comes with the official stamp of the state, indicating its authoritive character. The railroads, also, will duplicate such a booklet by hundreds of thousands. The bill now being considered was framed by the Oregon De velopement League to meet a general demand for a state publi cation. The measure provides that the immigration agent shall serve without pay but makes an appropriation of $25,000, barely the cost of compiling and print ing a limited original edition of tMe booklet. Once available, such a publication will be dupli cated widely.
